at-Tur (The Mount, The Mountain) at IslamAwakened.com

52:1 By the (mount) Tur (where Moses received Torah);

52:2 and by the book inscribed

52:3 in parchment (written sheep skin) unrolled,

52:4 and by the house (Bait-ul-Mamoor, the house over the heavens parallel to the Ka’bah at Makkah, visited by the angels),

52:5 and by the roof raised high (sky),

52:6 and by the sea boiling blaze,

52:7 surely, the punishment of your Lord will surely come to pass.

52:8 There is none that can avert it.

52:9 On the Day when the heaven will shake with a dreadful shaking

52:10 and the mountains will move away with a horrible movement.

52:11 On that Day, woe be to the rejecters (of truth),

52:12 who are engaged in falsehood.

52:13 That Day they will be pushed down by force to the fire of hell with a forceful pushing,

52:14 (it will be said to them): “This is the fire which you used to deny.

52:15 Is this a magic, or do you not see?

52:16 You burn in its heat; it will be the same for you whether you be patient or not be patient. You are only being requited for what you used to do.”

52:17 Surely, the pious will be in gardens (Paradise), and delight,

52:18 enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them and their Lord saved them from the punishment of the blazing fire.

52:19 (It will be said to them): “Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do (good deeds).”

52:20 They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to lovely maidens with wide lovely eyes.

52:21 Those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will join their offspring to them, and We will not decrease any reward for their deeds. Every person has a pledge for that which it has earned.

52:22 And We shall provide them with fruit and meat as they desire.

52:23 They shall pass from hand to hand a wine cup in it which shall cause no dirty, false talk in it (between them), and no sin will go around,

52:24 and boy-servants will go round for them to serve them as if they were preserved pearls.

52:25 And some of them will come near to others, questioning (worldly life

52:26 and they will say: “Surely, we were previously afraid with our families (from the punishment of Allah).

52:27 But Allah has been Gracious to us, and has saved us from the punishment of the fire.

52:28 Surely, we used to invoke Him before. Surely, He is the Kind, the Merciful.”

52:29 Therefore, remind and preach (mankind, O Muhammad). By the Grace of Allah, you are neither a fortune-teller, nor a madman.

52:30 Or do they say: “(Muhammad is) a poet! We are waiting for him some calamity (by time)!”

52:31 Say (O Muhammad to them): “Wait! I am with you among the waiters!”

52:32 Or do their minds command them this (to tell a lie against you)? Or are they people exceeding all bounds (from belief to disbelief)?

52:33 Or do they say: “He (Muhammad) has forged it (this Qur’an)?” Nay! They don’t believe!

52:34 Then let them produce a Scripture like it (the Qur’an) if they are truthful.

52:35 Or were they created by no one? Or were they (themselves) the creators?

52:36 Or have they created the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm belief.

52:37 Or are the treasures of your Lord with them? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?

52:38 Or do they have a stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the angels)? Then let their listener produce some clear proof.

52:39 Or has He only daughters and you have sons?

52:40 Or is it that you (O Muhammad) ask a wage from them (for your preaching) so that they are burdened from a load of debt?

52:41 Or is the (knowledge of) unseen with them and they write it down?

52:42 Or do they intend a plot (against you)? If so, those who disbelieve are themselves (trapped) in a plot!

52:43 Or do they have one worthy of worship other than Allah? Glorified is Allah from all that they ascribe as partners (to Him).

52:44 Even if they were to see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: “Clouds gathered in heaps!”

52:45 So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror).

52:46 The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing nor will be helped.

52:47 Surely, for those who do wrong, there is punishment (in this world and in graves) before this, but most of them don’t know.

52:48 So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for the decision of your Lord, for surely He is watching you. Glorify the praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep,

52:49 and also glorify His praises in the night-time, and at the setting of stars.
